1,152 it for Miguel Tejada??

Vintage Tox · 06-22-2007, 03:26 AM

The tests appear to be in, and the results appear to be dire. ESPN.com reported late Thursday night that Miguel Tejada has suffered a fractured left wrist, an injury that will likely end his consecutive games streak. Tejada, who has played in 1,152 consecutive games, could be out for two months or more.

Dude has the 5th longest consecutive games streak in baseball and needs 56 more to be in ••h on the all time list...

Tejada says he okay so they gave him the benefit of the doubt and didnt put him on the DL yet... instead they put him in the 2 spot, he bunted on base in his first at bat, and was substituted for a pinch runner....

He has played in every single baseball game (A's and Orioles) since June of 2000..

He says hes fine and In a way, since the Baltimore Orioles are doing so poorly, I would trust him and let him keep playing to atleast keep the streak alive and keep some excitement in Baltimore....but on the other hand if he hurts it more, not only would that ruin his streak but any chance of him being dealt to a championship bound team, which would also be unfair to Tejada....

could also end his career.

what if it never heels properly ?

and whatever happened to playing 5 innings.

if you arent healthy , dont do it. expecially if you 're playing on the bottom feeding team of the league. personally , i think he should sit out and get dealt off to a contender - with a shortend season stat sheet. rather than , letting the batting average , hits , and RBI levels fall off .. cause all in all thats his bread and butter.

chap.

Streaks over.... Miguel Tejada was just put on the DL...

Couldnt have happened at a worse time...if he is put on the 15 day DL, its still gonna go to the beginning of July not giving a lot of time before the deadline to figure if hes gonna be healthy enough to get top value in a trade...

Shitty thing being that the Orioles might hold him till hes healthy because im pretty sure noones gonna trade top value amounts for a man with a fractured hand, even if it is one of the top 5 players in the league....

Miggy hasn't been a top player in the league since steroid testing started. He still keeps his BA up but his SLG barely scrapes 400 now.

I'd argue to put him in the top 25, to be perfectly honest.

Old Soul · 06-24-2007, 03:55 PM

In fact I'm going further. There are 5 SS's who I would, unquestionably, take before I take Miggy.

Guillen
Reyes
Hanley
Rollins
Jeter

Other position players would be

ARod (arguably the 6th SS I would take before Miggy)
Sizemore
Utley
Howard
Pujols
MCab
D Lee
Fielder
Mauer
Wright
Beltran
Magglio
Holliday
Ortiz
Vlad

Now with the wrist injury his power is sapped even more.

this isnt the first wrist injury hes gone through...

and you've got to be shitting me if hes not in the top 25 best active players...if your talking about this season only then I would agree with you because of how bad the Orioles are and of all the other players making noise ...

but consistency wise over the last couple of years hes right in the top 5, so he is worth top value in a trade...

Post steroids-testing - no, he's not in the top 25.

His home run numbers have gone way down, but he's still a good hitter. The problem is he has no protection in the lineup and pitchers can really avoid him and face the easier parts of the Orioles lineup if they want to. He also doesn't come up to bat with enough runners on base to have huge RBI totals.
